College Football Week 4

Are you gambling guys getting standard payouts on your football bets? i.e., you are paying 11:10 on a standard bet?
6:1 plus bet on 3 team parlay?

And what state do you gamble from?

I'm just trying to figure out what I am missing in California.

All replies wanted.

Thanks

I bet in Mississippi, and that's what we get. Standard vig is -110 on point spread bets, and a three-team parlay pays 6-1. So on a $10 straight bet I wind up with $19.10, and on a three-teamer I get $70 back.

Thanks and all, but you didn't answer my question. I didn't propose it succinctly enough.
In vegas, on a standard bet, you gotta bet 11 to win 10.

Is that what you get? Are they screwing you with a higher vig?

I am trying to determine if all these states have the same rake as Vegas.

Most of the lines are -110 as well. Some books, however, are goosing the lines against the regional teams. If you want to play those schools, it’ll cost an extra point most times. Makes for good value going the other way.

Parlays and teasers have been the same values as Vegas. And Mississippi.

Pac-12 officials up to their usual BS in the Utah-USC game. 15 or 16 penalties in the first half, at least one-third of which were bogus. But they finally flagged Whittingham for UC, that guy is the biggest whiner in the league now that Stoops and Helfrich are gone.

There's so much focus on football like that, that it ignores a lot of the other benefits of what the current model does for other sports and even academics. Remember, besides being sports leagues a number of conferences share grant money, research, and academic assets among their member schools.
Would Alabama or LSU break away and join a Top 25 mega conference for football that completely screws over the 10 or 15 other sports that they play? Especially when they have a pretty good thing going now? Would the SEC stand for those schools leaving in football and still allow them to be members for basketball, baseball, etc.? And that's without getting into state politics and whatnot. Can you imagine the shit show that would ensue if Alabama wanted to join a Top 25 conference and Auburn wasn't invited?

I think that football drives decision making at about 80% of Power Five schools. Kansas, Duke and a couple other schools may care about basketball. And Vanderbilt, Northwestern and a couple others may care about academics. I believe that schools think if they take care of the football team everything else can be worked out.
